A highly disturbing new conference has emerged, featuring Jason Whitlock, John Rich, Voddie Baucham, Skillet’s John Cooper and Mormon Glenn Beck????!
According to the promo material, Fearless Army: Roll Call 2.0 is a “gathering, celebration, and encouragement of men to put on the full armor of God to take a stand against the evil forces destroying American culture.(Ephesians)” insisting that “it’s important that men not give up meeting together and encouraging one another toward love and good deeds. (Hebrews 10:24-25)”
The conference is being put on because “Jason Whitlock and John Rich “believe the best way to close the divides tearing America apart is to bring men together under the umbrella of worship, reverence, and song honoring our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” and the conference is “designed to inspire men to put aside superficial differences and serve our shared Creator.”
Hell no.
That might be possible if noted Mormon Glenn Beck wasn’t speaking and teaching. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? What does light have with polytheist cultists?
For a brief overview of the Mormon views on Jesus and other things, they believe that Jesus was once a regular sinful man who became exalted and turned into a God after doing many good deeds. ‘God the Father’ himself was also once a man on another planet, but because he likewise was such a good Mormon, he was granted the right to become a God over this earth. They believe that they too can become capital ‘G’ Gods of their own planet one day, and in fact, hold that there are millions of Gods. For them, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all and individual separate Gods, and they all have human bodies of flesh- they are not Spirits.
Mormons categorically deny the idea of salvation by grace alone and believe Jesus and Lucifer are ‘spirit brothers.’ They believe the scriptures we have are all corrupted and that’s why they have the new revelation of Joseph Smith.
So long as Glenn Beck is speaking, we would implore John and Voddie to back out immediately, as no one should be going to this conference. In fact, even if Beck backs out, the fact that conference organizers invited him in the first place demonstrates they don’t understand the gospel, and we would not trust them to convey any spiritual truth worth knowing.
It surprises me Voddie would be with Glen Beck
No clue why this group coalesced.
Here’s something on Voddie Baucham:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voddie_Baucham
TULIP calvinist. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, per se. :-)
(Now Glenn Beck, he is NOT a five-point calvinist!)
>> It surprises me Voddie would be with Glen Beck
Unless Glenn Beck found the Jesus Christ of Former-Day Saints maybe? ;-)
It’s hard to tell unless you ask them to define their terms. Mormons have picked up the glossary of terms used by evangelical Christians.
They use the same words, but they mean something entirely different. Sneaky.
These prudepricks certainly will fight. They’ll fight Glenn Beck. Not the left. Not illegal immigration. Not China. Glenn Beck. Meanwhile the scumbags on the left would kill all of these people including protestia, whatever that is, with a push of a button if they could.
Question: Roman Emperor Constantine, who dictated portions of the Nicene Creed accepted Semi-Arian Baptism by Bishop Nicodemus.
Is Constantine a Christian? ..or a Heritic, like
Glen Beck?
Some how I get the feeling Protestia and other Christian news forums will be running more stories on this conference.
I’m rather surprised Skillet is still around. They were pretty big when I was in college 25 or so years ago.
They need to uninvite Beck. That’s just crazy.
“As the Ottomans bashed the gates of Constantinople, the Emperor and all his priests and bishops were still huddled in his palace debating and arguing what color eyes the virgin Mary had”
There is nothing wrong at all being a Calvinist. The Bible teaches it and the Reformers knew it. Most of our colonial pastors were Calvinist because their theology was reformed.
Inviting Beck is a 2nd John issue. That should have never happened.
I’m not sure how that is responsive to this. False doctrine in the church isn’t appropriate because other bad things are also going on in the world...
2nd John issue - exactly. 3rd John one as well if I recall correctly.
Is the venue even actually in a church?
And even if it is, how is having Beck speak — granting he’s not going to teach Mormon theology — how is that “False doctrine in the church?”
The whole thing sounds far more like a common ground meeting promoting what we’d ALL agree would be “Christian living”:
Decency
Sobriety
Industry
Family
Purity
...
You and these fault-finding Protestia busybodies are just rooting through the shrubbery looking for a speck of dirt out of place to scream about.
That ain’t my Jesus.
Skillet is still one of the biggest names in Christian rock.
I don’t understand the hullabaloo here. Christian men, regardless of sect, want to encourage other Christian men to be Christian… men. Why the heck do we fight over the Christian-ness of other sects and cast stones as we do it? Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
“Skillet is still one of the biggest names in Christian rock.”
I’ve never heard of him. Then again I don’t listen to Christian Rock. I share Hank Hill’s opinion on that.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
True. And keep in mind that this is an election year. We may be looking at a gathering of men on the right coming together and encouraging men to exemplify righteous living in part to encourage men to vote this election against the anti-Christian, baby killing, freedom sucking, America hating, family destroying, child grooming Dims.
